How many birds do you shoot in a season?

I make my wife eat pheasant daily, most of the fall…and our pets, too…I don’t make her eat our pets, I mean I feed them all my game birds…they love them braised, it’s fun watching my wife and the pets eating these birds..when they’re done they’re let out of the locked cell.
Honey appreciates me sharing the birds she has worked so hard for too. She doesn't even complain about my bland cooking style.
 
How much time do I spend hunting? Not enough. At some point we will forget how many birds we shot, but remember the dogs and the special people we met along the way. Like the school bus driver in Iowa that informed us where he observed the most roosters on the road. Or the farmer that stopped at our motel room and asked us to shoot off the mallards in his newly swathed barley up in Sask. Just good people.
Don’t let birds just become a number.

I make sure I keep any game farm birds tagged as such, just in case it were to ever come up.
I make sure game farm birds are stashed in the very bottom of the freezer under everything else. This way I can avoid embarrassment in case a guest has to go in there for something. At that point they're like a few girls I met in my early 20s, never to be spoken of again. 😅

Here I thought you were going to say the girls were in the bottom of your freezer........:eek:
 
Is this pertaining to the fact that for longer than I've been alive you shot other people's birds for them breaking the law in Iowa? Or was it more about the fact that you counted other licensed household members toward a family possession limit for birds that you yourself had shot? And what about hunting ditches in Iowa where it is completely legal? I know you see that as lacking integrity although it is completely within the law. It sure is easy to judge others until you yourself have to look into the mirror.
Marty are you calling me out on this?
 
Society really doesn’t function well if each of us can decide which regulations, or laws, we deem worthy to follow does it ?

Yeah, I wouldn’t turn in the upstanding person fishing for lent, but I also wouldn’t do it myself, I’d probably give them some of mine from the freezer, then I would be in the clear. Now a Lutheran would be a different matter, depending on the Synod.

All of us here I’m sure will always make the right decisions, but those deer hunters, I wouldn’t trust them to make their own interpretation of the game laws. /s
I knew a game warden, and he told me that 90% of the big game hunters that he checked, had some kind of illegal activity going on. 90%

I gave some birds away to these Indians that live down the street, and those people are very appreciative.

When I was in my twenties I picked up this girl in this sleazy bar up in the Canadian, and that's about all I have to say about that. She was very, very low brow!!
 
You must be on another planet. I'll go ahead and flatly disagree with that one.

He should have been permanently banned years ago if it was up to me.

Deficating, shooting hens, bashing e-collars and travel kennels, promoting trespassing, calling big game hunters rubes. Ya that the line in the sand was crossed for this guy a while ago. Some of what he posts is literally illegal and he continues to promote it.

I try to find the humor in things…I was a Goose basher for a long time, took him at face value…easy to interpret everyone literally here. I have been of the opinion more recently that Goose is having a lot of fun jerking our chains a good bit around here, which is terrific! And if not, he’s a case study in psychology waiting to happen! If people choose to take him literally, and allow his banter here to influence how they behave afield, then they have severe issues. But I may be the only one who finds Goose entertaining. Anyone can show up here and proclaim to be ethical and full of integrity and to do everything right and to have never accidentally killed a hen, blah, blah, blah…there’s nothing to it, just type away and say whatever you want. Oh, I hope and assume most forum members here know that my nominating the old boy to be our esteemed leader is a bit-tongue-in cheek, but you know, for what this place is, which is really a place to BS and kill some time while waiting for the next outing, maybe Goose is the “juice”?
